the First Reading.
BERLIN, May 10.-The Reichstag to-day
began debate on the first reading of the
spirit bill Minister Won Scholz, in pre-
senting the bill, urged the necessity of in
creasing the revenne of the empire in view
of the greater precautions demanded for the
security of the Batherland The bill, he
said, especially affected agricultural inter
ests. The government, however, believed
that the South German States, without en-
dangering the interests of their distileries
or agricultural classes, could support the
tax.
A majority of the speakers that followed
declared in favor of the bill. Herr Reidel,
the Bavarian Finance Minister, stated that
he would support the bill in the general in
terest of Germany, but Bavaria was not
disposed to renounce her rights She gave
her approval under reserve and demanded
careful inquiry as to whether or not the
business of the Bavarian distileries would
suffer under the bill.
Representative Schnlid, of Wurtemburg,
said the bill met the views of the Wurtem-
burg government. Il was an especially
happy circumstance, be said, that the meas
ure threw fresh bond of union around
Germany.
